Popular NJ governor Chris Christie was in Williamsport on Monday supporting Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Corbett.
Christie said he supports Corbett so they can join forces and slash government spending on both sides of the Delaware River that is holding back jobs. Corbett said “We’re going to create an economic climate where the private sector provides the jobs, not government.” “We’re going to get out-of-the-way.”
Christie warned the audience not to become complacent about polling that shows Corbett solidly in the lead over Democratic challenger Dan Onorato.
Christie was in town for a GOP fundraiser for Corbett.
